Brand New Here In the Bay Area

[Skylar Scott]

Hello,

I am brand new here. I am currently in the life insurance business, which has been treating me well. But  I really want to get into wholesaling. Any tips for beginners?

To much competition, you're going to spend an insane amount of time to find stuff off market.

There's tons of agents that are mailing non stop as well, not to mention all the media attention about how crazy it is to buy.

You'd be better off being a actual licensed agent and joing a team that's a good fit. Independent probably not the best idea because you're going to need the networking/mentor part...but depending on the product you've sold previous job if it was to high worth clients you could bring value to an existing team.
